Table 3

Least square means and standard error of various response variables in susceptible and tolerant family.

Variables	Tolerant family; LS mean ± SE	Susceptible family; LS mean ± SE
LL/HT	0.44 ±0.02a	0.61 ±0.02b
OL/HT	0.50 ±0.03a	0.68 ±0.03b
HTI (cm)	22.37 ±1.19a	16.70 ±1.20b
Bud-break	2.22 ±0.17a	1.81 ±0.17b
Ny (g)	5.71 ±0.42a	5.05 ±0.42b
Sy (g)	5.00 ±0.22a	3.61 ±0.22b
CRY (g)	1.43 ±0.09a	1.00 ±0.09b
FRY (g)	1.22 ±0.10a	0.92 ±0.10b

Note. SE: standard error, LL/Ht: lesion length/seedling height, OL/HT: occlusion length/seedling height, Ny: needle dry biomass, Sy: stem dry biomass, CRY: coarse root dry biomass, and FRY: fine root dry biomass. Different letters indicate Tukey pair-wise differences between two families within each variable at α = 0.05.
